Published by the Royal Anthropological Institute, it is a bibliographic resource for researchers, teachers and students of anthropology worldwide. New material is indexed on an on-going basis. Currently 968 journals are indexed in over 25 languages, and the data go back to the early 1960s. Users can search for journal articles by author, title, date, keyword, region and language. In late 2006 unicode compliant diacritics were added (going back to the early 1980s, and from now on).
Ther are two ways of accesing the AIO. The Royal Anthropological Institute makes a version available directly (see link below). Access to this on the follwoing terms: access is free to individual users. Institutional users (except those in developing countries) who make frequent use must pay an annual subscription cost to help cover direct running costs. Another version (combined with the data from Anthropological Literature, as 'Anthropology Plus' is available from OCLC.
